Precious away win for Belturbet

August 07, 2013

Belturbet's Cian Vaughan
Seniors
The seniors secured a precious 1-8 to 1-7 away victory over our neighbours Drumlane in Milltown on Friday evening last in the league. The Rories opened the scoring through Cian Vaughan in the first half but Drumlane got on top to build up a 1-3 to 0-1 advantage. A point apiece from Conal McGinley and a free from Cian Vaughan was followed up just before half time by a cracking goal from Conal McGinley which left Drumlane with a narrow 1-4 to 1-3 half time lead. Drumlane lead for a huge portion of the match and only two frees from the boot of Mark Teevan and a free from Niall Lawlor levelled the game at 1-6 each entering the closing exchanges. A point apiece from Eoin McGuigan and Conal McGinley opened up a two point gap and despite halving their deficit Drumlane were unable to break down the Belturbet defence late on and so the spoils went to the Rories. Belturbet team V Drumlane: Danny Anscombe; Padraic Rehill, Stuart Murphy, John Cahill; Johnny Klushe, Kevin McConnell, Peter Shannon; Ollie Donohoe, Eoin McGuigan(0-1), Cian Vaughan(0-2 2f), Mark Teevan(0-2 2f), Ronan Cahill, Niall Lawlor(0-1 1f), Johnny Higgins, Conal McGinley(1-2). Subs Used: Killian O'Reilly, Mark Lawlor. The Seniors play host to Cootehill this Saturday August 10th at 7pm in Rory O'Moore Park in the league.

Cavan Seniors
Hard luck to our county player Damien O'Reilly and the Cavan senior team who bowed out of the championship on Sunday last at the Quarter final stage when they were defeated by 0-15 to 0-9 to Kerry. The senior team turned in a number of fine performances in 2013 and excellent strides have been made this year which hopefully will be built upon in 2014 and here's hoping to an even better year for the Breffni County next season.
